Skilled Furniture Upholsterer

Job Description Job Description Finish Pros | Raleigh, NC (Triangle Area) (MUST ALREADY BE LOCATED IN USA)
If you’ve ever thought about working for yourself—but didn’t want the stress of chasing jobs, handling clients, or managing overhead—this is the opportunity you’ve been looking for.
At Finish Pros, we’ve built a system where skilled upholsterers can focus entirely on their craft. We handle the sales, prep, materials, and logistics—so you can do what you do best, all day, every day.
We specialize in high-end residential and commercial furniture, delivering design-driven, detail-oriented reupholstery and restoration work.

What You’ll Do
Full frame-up upholstery, including:
Webbing, spring work (8-way hand-tied, sinuous, coil)

Foam build-up and padding

Precision fabric cutting, sewing, and application

Work on a wide range of pieces:
Sofas, sectionals, and lounge seating

Dining chairs, barstools, and accent pieces

Custom and commercial projects

Execute clean, consistent work based on detailed work orders

Collaborate with our prep, design, and production teams

What Makes This Role Different
At Finish Pros, you are not running a business—you are mastering your craft.
No sourcing clients

No quoting or invoicing

No chasing materials or payments

No stripping or heavy prep work

You walk in, your project is prepped, materials are ready, and you get to work.

Compensation & Benefits
Piece-rate pay structure with published rates (you know what each job pays upfront)

Typical earnings: $68,000 – $80,000/year

Top performers: $80,000 – $90,000+

Consistent 40-hour work week with steady year-round work

Benefits Include:
Healthcare contribution (QSEHRA)

11 paid holidays (including Christmas–New Year closure)

2 weeks paid vacation after 90 days

Unpaid flex time when needed

All tools, equipment, and supplies provided

This structure is designed to outperform independent work in both income stability and quality of life

What We’re Looking For
5+ years of furniture upholstery experience (not auto or marine)

Strong frame-up skills including:
Spring systems and structural work

Foam and padding techniques

Pattern matching and sewing

Experience working with fabric, vinyl, and leather

Detail-oriented with pride in craftsmanship

Reliable, steady, and team-focused

Have experience with tufting, channel backs, or complex builds

Have worked in a high-end or design-driven shop

Prefer focusing on production rather than managing clients

What This Is Not
Not a 1099 or freelance role

Not a “bring your own customers” setup

Not a beginner position

This is a long-term W-2 career opportunity for skilled upholsterers who want consistency, respect, and strong earning potential.
